“Did the abstract and rather arcane discipline of Bionomics have any effect on real life? Well, consider this: the first formal legislation making forced sterilization a legal act on planet Earth was passed, not in Germany or Japan, but in the American state of Indiana, a law which became official in the famous 1927 Supreme Court test case Buck vs. Bell. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the majority opinion allowing seventeen-year-old Carrie Buck to be sterilized against her will to prevent her ‘degenerate offspring,’ in Holmes’ words, from being born. Twenty years after the momentous decision, in the trial of German doctors at Nuremberg, Nazi physicians testified that their precedents were American — aimed at combating racial degeneracy. The German name for forced sterilization was ‘the Indiana Procedure.’

“To say this bionomical spirit infected public schooling is only to say birds fly. Once you know it’s there, the principle jumps out at you from behind every school bush. It suffused public discourse in many areas where it had claimed superior insight. Walter Lippmann, in 1922, demanded ‘severe restrictions on public debate,’ in light of the allegedly enormous number of feeble-minded Americans. The old ideal of participatory democracy was insane, according to Lippmann.”

“With 60 percent of ties being purchased by women, many men are the Charley McCarthys of the fit-to-be-tied fashion statement.

“Of course, there are those who will swear that a long, wide tie with silk that feels like ‘living skin’ is really just representative of the male genitalia. ‘The tie is the most obvious kind of a phallic symbol,’ says George D. Goldman, Ph.D., a psychologist and psychoanalyst who practices in New York City. ‘It hangs down in front of a man like a phallic symbol — but that’s just a cliché.

“‘Like Sigmund Freud once said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” And some ties are just ties.’ But just in case, women are glad that those lanky, skinny ties are out of style.”

“Guilt is self-guile.”

“Those who preside over our educational institutions generally are fully cognizant of their ideological responsibilities, though they may never describe them as ideological. Bored, uninformed students are a small price to pay in order to better secure cultural orthodoxy and politico-economic hegemony. Under such arrangements, real history is among the first casualties.”
